Background  Little data to guide diet prescription exists about the foods most frequently consumed in Africa. Moreover, the sauce accompanying a meal can significantly alter the metabolic effects of food. Our work was to study the influence of sauces on the metabolic effects of  foofoo corn  (Zea mays), one of the most commonly consumed foods in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa with a wide range of sauces.    Methods  Our study population consisted of ten healthy volunteers (five men, five women), aged from 21 to 28 years, with mean BMI of 23.9 (SD 1.9) kg/m 2 . The study involved seven visits of three hours each, conducted every 2 days, including one devoted to the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and six visits to the consumption of each of 6 meals tested, standardized to 75 g of carbohydrate intake. Blood samples were collected at 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 min after consumption of meals for blood glucose and triglycerides levels. The glucose area under the curve of each tested meal, was used to calculate its glycemic index, using the OGTT as the reference. The accompanying sauces tested with  foofoo corn  were:  okra sauce  (Abelmoschus esculentus), the so-called  yellow sauce  (Elaeis guinensis), the pistachio sauce (Pistacia vera), the  nkui  (Triumpheta pentandra),  ndolé  (Vernonia amygdalima) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea).    Results  All meals had generally a low glycemic index, with a maximum of 22.59 % for  okra  and cabbage, followed by  ndolè  (20.18 %), the  yellow sauce  (13.10 %),  pistachio sauce  (11.60 %), and  nkui  (5.27 %). There was a difference in the effects of the diets on triglyceride levels only at 180 min ( p  = 0.03).    Conclusion  Whatever the accompanying sauce,  foofoo corn  has a low glycemic index. Some sauces, such as  nkui  give it a very low glycemic index and may be of great interest in diet prescription for patients with various metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity.
